Some Magic: The Gathering cards get you excited instantly… others make you sigh the second you read a single word. In this video, we break down some of the most frustrating, confusing, and controversial keyword abilities in MTG history — from the infamous Banding to the exhausting Day/Night cycle, and resource-draining mechanics like Echo, Cumulative Upkeep, Fading, and Vanishing.
